Gear wise, anything that fits an Alphas/Pixy will drop into the CVZ 100 platform.

Freshwater only, hence the exclusion of the magseal

There's an RC001M spool proto in the works as well
No idea on ETA

Mostly done, just undecided on spool at the moment
Painted R+ body done by Rarebreed

They look really nice up close

Great pics bud!
Missing your trademark watermark though. Don't want IG stars taking your photos while selling t-shirts now

I'm guilty of doing the same. Every fifteen minutes at work, I'll hit F5 to check on status once an EMS package from Japan hits customs.
Can check status of Japan post and EMS through USPS main site as well

I tape on a piece of electrical tape at the end of braided line and place directly on the spool. I have yet to have any residue left over when switching line, but there have been a few incidents I've heard of where there have been.

Bryan, aka PikeRoadBassn, or Ian, aka e_bassfisher, can help out.

Looks metal to me
